Biaxial tensile tester machine

Application

Ths biaxial tensile tester machine is a tensile Testing in which the sample is stretched in two distinct directions. This technique is used to obtain the mechanical characteristics of anisotropic materials, such as composite materials, textiles, and soft biological tissues. There are three main types of biaxial tensile testing: Bursting Test, based on a circular specimen clamped along the edge and inflated by air or water under pressure until the specimen bursts; Cylinder test, based on a hollow cylinder subjected to internal pressure and axial pressure or tension; Plane biaxial test, which offers the best result because of the independent force introduction in the two main directions.
